Profile:
The Indian selectors have quite often been notorious in curbing the
careers of budding pace bowlers with their policy of hiring and
firing. The list of such bowlers is long and the latest to be pushed
into this unenviable line is Thirunavakarasu Kumaran.`Kenny' as he is
known to close friends, was selected for the national side largely on
the basis of one performance - a ten wicket haul in the Irani Trophy
match against Karnataka at Bangalore at the break of the 1999-2000
season. He was the surprise choice for the tour of Australia and to
give him some international experience prior to the tour, he was
played in the one day internationals against New Zealand.
Kumaran did well enough to show that he merited selection and on the
tour of Australia, he performed beyond expectations in the first class
games prior to the first Test. It was taken for granted that he would
be in the side but Agarkar was preferred. He took this disappointment
in his stride but another one followed when he was one of five players
to be replaced for the Carlton & United one day series. But one is
sure that the last has not been heard of the stout hearted bowler from
Tamil Nadu. A product of the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai, Kumaran
has received personal training from Dennis Lillee and has also
benefited from a stint at the Australian Academy in Adelaide. He is
mentally strong and this quality should stand the bustling young pace
bowler in good stead as he attempts to make a comeback. (Partab
